OREM—Utah Valley senior golfer
Kai Iguchi has been invited to participate in the 2024 PGA WORKS Collegiate Championship, presented by Chase, Kohler and ADT, at TPC Sawgrass, May 6-8, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
Â
Iguchi makes his second straight appearance at the PGA WORKS Collegiate Championship after finishing in a tie for sixth at the event last year at Shoal Creek Club in Bessemer, Alabama.Â
Â
"It's a special honor to be selected for a second straight year," said Utah Valley head coach
Chris Curran. "To get to play TPC Sawgrass is a dream come true for any golfer. After last year's finish, I think he'll have a good chance to contend again."
Â
The 187-player field consists of 27 teams and 52 individuals representing Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving institutions and other Minority-serving institutions who will compete across five divisions in the 54-hole, stroke-play event.Â
Â
Iguchi will be playing in the Men's Individual Division, which will feature 52 competitors representing 39 schools.Â
Â
Exemptions into Epson Tour and Korn Ferry Tour events will be granted for a fourth consecutive year. The top three finishers and ties in the Individual Division will be eligible to apply for a sponsor exemption into the 2024 Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas Wichita Open, a Korn Ferry Tour event taking place June 13-16, at Crestview Country Club in Wichita, Kansas.Â
Â
NBC Sports will provide live broadcast coverage of the PWCC for the second consecutive year on GOLF Channel, Monday through Wednesday May 6-8 from 3-6 pm ET. PGA.com will stream the PGA WORKS Collegiate Championship live throughout all three days of the Championship.Â
